Mix engineer Tommaso Colliva on recording Drones : “We did extensive amp research for the guitar sound for ‘The Globalist Part 1’. Matt had a very precise sound in mind, which was retro, warm and intimate. I took the DI from live tracking of the song to try out a collection of amps I rented, particularly many late-’50s Fender amps — Tremolux, Deluxe, tweeds, etc — and did a massive shootout to get the right sound. We ended up using a Deluxe and a Tremolux in combination, one with and one without tremolo."

Edge was telling an interviewer about his guitar rig and going through all of his amplifiers. At 2:20 he mentions and points out the Fender Deluxe.

"Usually I record with smaller amps... a tweed Deluxe. I did use it. I had, like, a Studio B setup. I'd have, like, one that I was mixing upstairs, I'd have another set up downstairs and I used that to put in the last-minute leads."

"At the core of Young’s amplifier setup is a piece of gear as essential to his sound as Old Black: the 1959 tweed Fender Deluxe he’s used since the late Sixties," states this article.

Besides the Switchmaster guitar, what equipment did you use on Freak Out!? "Just a Fender Deluxe amp, that's all. After the Switchmaster I got a Les Paul gold-top and used that for a couple of albums. And eventually I got a Gibson SG.

Photos from that era show you playing through a Fender Deluxe amp.

I still have it. Oh, what a great amp. But I hurt the speaker, finally, about two or three years ago. I accidentally threw a switch on my guitar that made the pickup a humbucker. That was it. They don’t make those speakers anymore.

At 13:18 Larry Carlton talks about his Fender Deluxe amp, “We'll start here with the Tweed. And I've talked about this before on my website. That's the amp that I used for the Steely Dan sessions and I don't even remember why and how I'd brought the Tweed in, because I didn't use it on any other sessions, only the Royal Scam, Aja, and Donald's Nightfly album. So yeah, I got that with my 335 on the back pickup was the Kid Charlemagne and Don't Take Me Alive… No effects… Well I don't remember the exact setting but obviously you can play and you just keep moving it until it starting to bark but not sound too trashy... It was just luck, man. I don't know how I ended up taking that one for the solos.”

Larry goes on to say about the tweed, “Yeah I think it this is part of a cool story too when Donald Fagen was doing the Night Fly he flew me to New York to do some overdubs and I took my 335 in a suitcase and take an amp but I got there and we're visiting in the control room and he says “Oh, where's your amp?” “Well I didn’t bring one, I thought we’d just rent one.” They sent for my amp and on the Night Flights it’s that amp, my 335, and it had been a number of years you know so I thought, he really remembers that tone.”
